Mind if I wax poetic about design for a moment?
My first experience with graphic design was in high school when I worked on our school yearbook, although I probably wouldn’t have known that’s what I was doing -- I just remember feeling so inspired and excited to select the theme colors and fonts, and laying out all of the different pages.
Up until that point, I had considered myself an artist and enjoyed photography and writing, but I hadn’t tried applying it to a digital format. I was intrigued by it and took extra design courses as part of my Journalism degree.
Little did I know then that I would spend the next seven years of my career with a number of different job titles, but design has always been at the core of each position.
I love to work on design projects that are brand-focused. In the past, my design experience covers everything from web design to ads to magazine layouts, but my favorite projects are always campaigns (whether it’s an ad campaign or a content campaign) that focus on bringing personality to a brand.
